John,

The database name of the primary and standby databases should be the same,
but the instance name should be different. We tend to append 'dr' on to the
end of the database name for the standby instance.

Regards,
Barry

I have to get a standby database up in the next week.
I am working to read the manual, but was hoping that
some basic questions could be answered here -

Can/should the standby database have the same name as
the primary database?

Other than the manuals, are there any checklists/quick guides available to
help set up the standby database ?

Appreicate any advise you can provide.

The primary is already created 9.2.0.4 on a windows 2003
system. The standby will go to another Windows 2003 server.
